Just bought my wife a 2015 Tahoe LT. At first, driving the vehicle on the test drive it seemed to ride really well. After driving more around town now that we own it It feels like it rides pretty rough.

I am interested in improving the ride quality front and back as well as lowering the rear to match the front.

Im interested in the belltech rear lowering kit and adding bilstein shocks front and rear. I dont want the rear to be lower than the front. I would prefer to have it just slightly tail high if possible. Any suggestions please let me know what is the best way to achieve a better ride quality as well as lowering the rear.

I don't think there is anything to "help" the ride. Michelin tire's supposedly ride better. What size wheels do you have?

Mine rides rough on OE 20s.
Feels like my lowered BMW without the handling benefits. :emotions34:

Bilsteins help as well. I put a set of 5100s in the front and makes a world of difference! Stock shocks are pretty weak. Not much wheel control.

I am ready to order the rear kit for my tahoe. What is the best way to go about ordering? I just want to lower the rear and make it level or 1/4'' higher in the rear than the front. Let me know.
